Chapter 6 - The Unthinkable Conclusion

Nicholas handed over the drive, his spirit broken. "Take it. Take the money, the firm, everything. Just let him go."
Hannah looked at the drive, then at Alex. She looked at Nicholas—a man who had finally lost the control he cherished.
In a shocking turn of events, Hannah didn't leave with the drive. She walked over to the security console and pressed a button. The live feed of the room projected onto the massive screens in the lobby, the boardroom, and every news outlet in the country. She broadcast the true story—not just of her grandfather, but of how Julian Vane had been the one pulling the strings behind the scenes all along, and how Nicholas had been a pawn in a much larger game of corporate warfare.
The police swarmed the building, not for Nicholas, but for Julian Vane, who was revealed to be hiding in the server room.
The Ending: Nicholas lost the company, his reputation, and his status. He was a disgraced man, but he was a free one. He sat on a park bench, his son playing on the grass again—this time, with Nicholas’s full, undivided attention.
